Sort Family out, Buy Bugatti Veyron, F430, DB9, and a M6.
Buy a villa in Spain, America and a house in Newcastle(mint place).
In fact the interest u would earn of that , the only way u could spend it all is if u bought a few yachts houses n that CASH

Well answering the Q about being able to spend the Ł50 million....


if outta the Ł80 mill you put say the Ł50 mill in the bank you get around Ł6500 a day interest after tax (estimated - working on an advert I heard about high interest accounts and the % of interest they are offering) so if you didn't spend that all each day you account would in theory get bigger each day

And you'd still have Ł30,000,000 to play with as well as the Ł6500 a day on top

Off to buy a lottery ticket

Easier to blow it than make/win it

Island in the Carribean - Ł5-15mill ish dependant on how many tree's you wanted on your island
Could do Ł3-4mil on top end cars
House Ł2mill
Property abroad Ł1mil
Yacht - Ł10mil + costs to run
Helicopter - Ł1mil + costs to run

There you go, Ł33mil gone before you do the holidays and handouts thing

I'd expect around 10% return on however many million pounds I had to invest, working on the fact that the financial advisor would be being paid commission on whatever money they make me (so the more they make on investing your money, the more money they make) either just independently or by setting up my own wealth management company

Meanwhile I'd spend my time jetting around the world using some of the initial money to live up my life and make investments in things like property and the usual luxuries like fast cars, yacht etc. and generally live like a king

No doubt I'll go from being a rather plain balding 26 year old to number 53 on the World's 100 sexiest men list in the girly mags as well - money doesn't buy you happiness? Doesn't it fuck!



(Not that I'd ever thought about it at all you understand)

then the usual cars, SLR, Enzo, get martoon to build me a esc cos like his (but with WRC front bumper and 200 more bhp )

id prolly buy a decent house (read mansion) in the country and have plenty of naked bitches clean it

ill prolly buy the missus a new car, clio V6 will do as she likes clios.

and then id put the rest, prolly about 25 mil in the bank and get pissed when im not hooning round the track in one of the said cars above lol

oh, might buy the missus a decent fookin watch too
